The cotton crop of the South for
the cenisus yealr wa, as is well

that reason it does not appear to as

The figures given for Sea Islamtl
cotton show that Georgia has dis- ft
placed Florida as the chief producer st
of that staple. In 1880 the Florida co
crop was tive times that of Georgia, i,
in 1890 it was twice as great; but
by the censuts of 1900 Georgia pro-.i
duced 57,812 bales of "Sea Island," A
Florida only 31,238 and Southb p
Carolmiu 8229. T''he industry is onI a
the decline in the Palmuetto State, in
the production having fallen from i
110,142 bales in 1880 to 8929 bales
in 1900. The Georgia crop is not to

How many parents encourage their
children to study of evenings? If you

from home, you have no right to blame
the teacher if at the end of the term
your child has made no progress. No
teacher can accomplish much with a
boy who loafs around town of even
ings Such a boy loses interest in
everything good and useful and be
comes absolutely indtfferere. to school
work. These are the natural results
of his enviroments. On the streets he
finds no industry or culture. The
street loafer has no business but to
poison others, and he is very diligent
ly filling his mission. lie excites no
ambition in the young associate for
good; he throws no inflluence of cul
ture around him. On the contrary.
he engages hlum in conversation of the
lowest depths-conversation so pro
fane and obscene as to make even
devils feel ashamed of the depih of de
gradation to which humanity can fall.
Oh, is it a wonder that every impulse
that the youth may have possessed is
lost forever among such surroundings
as these? And such is the company
the boys fall into when they spend
their evening loafing around town.
How long will the parents permit this
to continue? The remedy is with
them'-Ex.
The greed of wealth is a seductive
and treacherous aspect of upwright
eousness, asserting the falsehood that
a man's life consists in the multitude
of the things that he possesses. It is
the great hardener of hearts. It knows
neither justice or mercy. It befouls
charity with insincerity and ostensation.
It poisons the ingeniousness of youth,
pollutes the wisdom of life, makes age
unvenerable, and death a degradation.
Yet the conviction can hardly be avoid
ed that this insane greed has become
the controlling passion in the lives of a
lfre and influential body of our peo
ple. It sways every aspiration and
'n~es every activity with a presuming
and audacious authority never before
so plainly manifested.-Vicksburg
